Merchants River House

Great views in a nice neighborhood. Food is good if a bit pricey. Nice to take a walk along the waterfront after dining.

Neighborhood favorite for locals featuring American cuisine. Service is generally pleasant. The food is good, but not exceptional. Especially busy during the summer months when many tourists come to hang out by the water, as the restaurant is right along the Battery Park City esplanade and has great views of the Hudson and the Jersey City skyline.

Nice cozy place with gorgeous views. Some dishes are really good. The staff is very different: some people are friendly and professional, some are not really. You will be lucky if you get Darya at the bar during your visit. She is superb! Knows all the drinks’ secrets and the whole menu. So you don’t even need to look at it, her advice is the best way to go!

My sister and I had an amazing time there last week. We both decided to stay after lunch and have some wine since it started pouring down. The waiter and manager were both very friendly and you could tell they liked doing their job. They said it gets a bit slower in the winter but they had put some igloo type tents up outside so go check it out. Highly recommended!

If you are looking for a great spot for some food and drinks right on the Hudson River this is a great spot. With outdoor dining in the warmer months and new igloos for the colder months its a great spot to watch the sun go down. Its reasonably priced with a good menu options. Charlie who is the longtime manager will look after you. Tell him Duncan sent you.
